BACKGROUND Figures are important experimental results that are typically reported in full-text bioscience articles. Bioscience researchers need to access figures to validate research facts and to formulate or to test novel research hypotheses. On the other hand, the sheer volume of bioscience literature has made it difficult to access figures. Therefore, we are developing an intelligent figure ...

this paper presents a combination of data envelopment analysis (dea) and principal component analysis (pca) to reduce the dimensionality of data set. dea is known as effective tool for assessment and benchmarking. the weak point of dea, it is that the number of efficient dmus relies on the number of variables (inputs and outputs). for solving this, first, we do principal component analysis (pca...

University rankings generally present users with the problem of placing the results given for an institution in context. Only a comparison with the performance of all other institutions makes it possible to say exactly where an institution stands. In order to interpret the results of the SCImago Institutions Ranking (based on Scopus data) and the Leiden Ranking (based on Web of Science data), i...

Topic-focused multi-document summarization aims to produce a summary biased to a given topic or user profile. This paper presents a novel extractive approach based on manifold-ranking of sentences to this summarization task. The manifold-ranking process can naturally make full use of both the relationships among all the sentences in the documents and the relationships between the given topic an...

Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

Instead of using citations or marketing academics’ perceptual ranking of journals, this article examines the ranking of marketing journals using Australian university library holdings, in either hard copy or full-text electronic format. This measure was used as a proxy for broad-based accessibility of marketing journals. The study found that the accessibility rankings differed significantly fro...

Summary: Abstracts in biomedical articles can provide a quick overview of the articles but detailed information cannot be obtained without reading full-text contents. Full-text articles certainly generate more information and contents; however, accessing full-text documents is usually time consuming. Condensedly is a web-based application, which provides readers an easy and efficient way to acc...
